Race Whisperer

Energy gathering at the line, barely contained and electric
Pulsing hearts and pounding hooves, any moment now…
Catch a velvet whisper 
                                                   And run!

Intimate touch of female flesh and solid beast
Melding of two spirits born to ride the wind.
Lengthening muscles, tightening grip,
Focus on the goal lying just ahead, but out of touch…

Chained fury emanates from woman and horse, heads forward 
Together in a fiery dance of racing magic and pure desire…
Hold a velvet whisper
                                                  And fly!
